The FAI chief has come to the rescue.

This week we brought you the annoying news that debit cards would not be accepted for those applying for tickets to Euro 2016. Thankfully, the FAI Chief John Delaney has rectified that problem.

Delaney has met with UEFA in Switzerland and both parties have come to an agreement which allows debit cards to be used when applying for Euro 2016 tickets.
